El Palo from Nájera
La Rioja, spain
At just 1.8km, El Palo from Nájera is short but deceptively intense — 80m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.4%, the road kicks to 8% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in La Rioja, Spain.
- A false flat around km 0 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
- A gentler outing by Spain standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
